Spark to Flame Student Showcase

The annual Spark to Flame program is presented through the Ann & George Nation Conservatory School of Classical Music and supports the development of young emerging professional artists.

Open to all students of the Victoria Conservatory of Music, soloists are selected through audition, and then offered the opportunity to be mentored by various Conservatory faculty over the weeks leading up to the concert, including rehearsals with orchestra.

The concert is a magical evening, and this year’s performance on Saturday, February 24, 2024, will feature seven very talented student soloists chosen this year to be accompanied by fellow student peers who are joined by faculty artists and other professional musicians.

Congratulations to the following students who have been selected through audition to perform at this special event:

Simon Eskildsen, piano
Tyler Evans-Knott, flute
Max Francis, violin
Elana Lin, violin
Angela Pan, piano
Chloe Williams, flute
Filbert Zhang, piano

This event is supported by the Henwood Family Fund and BC Gaming.
